Fans are in crisis after coming out of the outfield stands during an April 30 game between the Pirates and the Chicago Cubs and fell on a warning track at Pittsburgh’s PNC Park.
The incident occurred at the bottom of seven innings.
According to a video shared on social media, fans appeared to be rolling down the top rail and sitting in the front row of their seats just before they fell into the dirt below. The scary waterfall was from one of the tallest seats in the outfield. The tallest fence in the outfield was the 21-foot right field, in honor of Hall of Fame Roberto Clemente, according to the Pirates, and was wearing the numbers.
Fans were seen by doctors on the field, placed on the backboard and removed to cart following social media videos.
“The Pittsburgh EMS Field Medic handled him on scene until he was taken to hospital in danger,” Pittsburgh Public Safety said on social media.
The Pirates issued a statement regarding the post-match incident. This resumed after a short delay (Pirates won 4-3):
“During the seven innings of the match at PNC Park tonight, an adult man fell from the correct field breaker to the field of play. Pittsburgh EMS, Pirates and Cubs Athletic Training Team and other PNC Park officials responded quickly, responded immediately and managed care.
“There is no further information at this time. Our thoughts and prayers are with him and his family.”
Pittsburgh Public Safety said it is “investigating” an incident in which “VCU detectives are under investigation.”
At least two fans have been killed in the last 15 years as a result of a significant fall at MLB Stadium. One happened in 2011 at the old Texas Rangers stadium. The other took place in 2015 at Turnerfield, the former home of the Atlanta Braves.
